A towering musical figure, Charles Lloyd carries on the unifying mission of such truth seekers as Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane. During the late 60s, Lloyd led one of the most popular groups in jazz that went on to produce Forest Flower, one of the best-selling jazz albums ever.

 

 

All About Jazz writes, "There was plenty to admire in the Charles Lloyd New Quartet's San Francisco concert: Lloyd pushed his young rhythm section to a new plane of sensitivity; the compositions were elegant and flexible, allowing for both hard-driving rhythms and feathery melodic exploration; and the band played ballads with a beauty intolerant of sap."
